Betty Dorsett Duke’s provocative new book, The Truth About Jesse James, makes a convincing case that with Bob and Charley Ford’s help Jesse James pulled off one of the biggest hoaxes in American history by getting away with his own murder.
Despite 1996 DNA results highly touted as proving that Jesse James died and is buried in Kearney, Missouri as history reports, the author presents findings from the investigation she pioneered of the 1995 exhumation of his purported grave in Kearney, Missouri showing why they are tainted and proved absolutely nothing. Duke’s matching photo case provides persuasive visual evidence that Jesse James assumed the alias of James L. Courtney, hightailed it to Texas, and lived to tell his grandchildren stories about his amazing exploits.
Duke heard old family stories for as long as she can remember that her great-grandfather, known in Texas as James L. Courtney, was really Jesse James. For years she just chalked them up as tall Texas tales, but upon following the trail of clues her great-grandfather cached in his personal diaries, photographs, and Knights of the Golden Circle treasure maps she discovered the family story is true.
So saddle up!!! Retrace the author's discovery trail as she replaced fiction with facts. You decide, perhaps you will catch a glimpse of a great mystery solved; and maybe those rich insights will bring to you a new understanding of Jesse James’ life in the old Wild West. Most of all, for Jesse's sake, the real story of his life and death, never told before, unfolds. ride to a time, a place, and find The TRUTH about JESSE JAMES.
